OC AI Builders Lightning Hackathon

​What can you build with AI in 50 minutes? Come find out—and show the room what you made.

​The format is simple: you get 50 minutes to build something with AI, then up to 2 minutes to demo it. Come with an idea or start from scratch. Build solo or form a small team when you arrive. Rough, weird, incomplete experiments are welcome—the point is to make something real, show it, and trade notes.

​FORMAT

​• 50 minutes to build

​• 2 minutes to demo

​• Solo builders and small teams are welcome

​• A small working slice beats a pitch deck

​AGENDA

​• 5:00–5:30 PM — Arrival, food, drinks, and networking

​• 5:30–5:40 PM — Welcome, format, and team-up

​• 5:40–6:30 PM — 50-minute build sprint

​• 6:30–7:20 PM — Two-minute demos

​• 7:20–8:00 PM — Food, drinks, networking, and follow-ups

​WHAT CAN YOU BUILD?

​Agents, apps, workflow automations, evals, developer tools, product experiments, useful AI-powered systems—or something we have not thought of yet.

​WHO SHOULD ATTEND

​• Engineers and founders building with AI

​• Product and operations people turning AI experiments into real workflows

​• Curious builders who want candid technical discussion, not a sales pitch

​WHAT TO BRING

​Bring a laptop, charger, an idea if you have one, and a willingness to ship something small. Food and drinks will be provided.
